Hi Hope_4_bb,
My check up on fri went well.I was so nervous coz i know wat i'm expecting to c on the scan.I sort of even know wat the doc will do,coz ard the same wks last preg,i was bleeding,so i had a scan.my BP was so high,the nurse had to retake it.haha.but she was chatting with me,and i relaxed a little.
When i had the scan done,it was a little embarrassing.i waited so long,my bladder was full.when i saw prof rauff's face,i panicked a bit coz u can juz tell if the doc is seeing something on the scan or not.she poked the scan stick left,right a few times,and i didn't see any preg sac on the monitor.i began to panick a little.she looked at me & i was preparing myself for the worst.but she looked at me and said my bladder was really full,told me to go toilet,coz she is seeing nothing but bladder on the monitor.it was a huge relief.managed to detect preg sac.juz having the scan done and knowing the preg sac is there is a big step for me.i was worrying until the day i had the scan done.knowing that the 1st step is right gave me such a huge confidence boost.i am now on progesterone pills coz i'm having cramps.the dose is higher than the 1st preg.now,juz have to let nature take its course.i'm aiming to get thru' 1st trimester 1st.6 more wks.i'm really taking one step at a time for this preg.
ladies,
Tell u all something that always makes me angry.ppl wanting a particular gender of baby.i haf a cousin,gave birth around same time as me last yr,wanted a boy,ended up with a girl.had to have C-section,cried her lungs out.to me,boy or girl,as long as the baby is healthy,that's the most impt.i think most gals here who are trying so hard will agree with me.c section or natural,as long as the baby is delivered safely is the most impt to me.then today,this cousin's bro found out they are expecting a baby girl.my aunt (baby's grandma) told another aunt,"it's a girl again." i get very mad when ppl who can conceive so easily take such things for granted.here we are,trying and trying,putting all we can to have a child.those ppl who are blessed with a cild juz don't understand wat a gift it is to have a child,be it a boy or girl.i think if this time it's a girl,i'll be very happy.if it's a boy,i'll be equally happy.they are my kids anyway.
and talking abt vit.gynae has recommended vit E.apparently it's quite impt.i burnt my skin a while back,quite bad,been rubbing vit E(i pierced a capsule)on my skin,so that time,hubby's turn to use the vit E.
